Attendees at a networking and educational showcase at Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School on Wednesday have to do a little bit of legwork in order to get to the coffee and conversation - they will have to solve a murder.

The annual Networking Before Nine/Education Showcase, put on by the Marlborough Regional Chamber of Commerce, is being presented with a twist this year, said Cindy Zomar, public relations coordinator at Assabet Valley.

She said attendees will walk into a crime scene and will have to take part in the investigation into the death of an I.M. Crabeigh, a prominent - but not particularly likeable - member of the community.

Students from Assabet Valley programs, using available evidence paired with what they have learned in their classes, will lead the investigation.

The program will run from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Wednesday at the technical high school at 215 Fitchburg Street and will feature representatives from multiple schools in the city providing information.

The cost of entry is $10 in advance and $25 at the door for Chamber of Commerce members and $20 in advance and $25 at the door for non-members. Call 508-485-7746 for more information or to register for the event.
